Dell Energy Smart Vostro 410 ‘Green’ Business Desktop Gets Early Release [Energy-Efficient Vostro 410 Intel Core 2 Quad PC]

Dell have announced the latest model in their Vostro range of desktop business PCs in the form of their new Energy Smart Vostro 410 which, according to Dell’s press release, apart from offering up to 47% reduced energy requirements (when operating in Energy Smart mode), comes with a larger tower unit offering space for up to four hard drives (as opposed to the Vostro 400’s two) and six expansion slots (two more than offered by the Vostro 400).

‘Small businesses are increasingly concerned about rising energy costs,’ said Frank Muehleman, vice president and general manager, Dell Small and Medium Business, who announced the new Vostro 410. ‘With the Energy Smart Vostro desktop, we’re able to save our customers money and collectively cut down on CO2 emissions, while delivering the features and functionality they require – especially high-performance processing power, graphics technology, fast networking and maximum expandability.’

Billed as an ‘unrivalled combination of performance and expandability for a small-business PC’, Dell’s Vostro 410, which Dell claim to be releasing six months earlier than initially planned due to ‘direct customer feedback’, comes with range of Intel Core 2 Quad or Core 2 Duo processors, optional 512MB NVIDIA (dual monitor capable) GeForce 8800GT graphics card, gigabit Ethernet, dual-layer DVD, up to 4GB of RAM, 8 USB ports, a media card reader and comes complete with free services including 10GB of Dell DataSafe Online Backup, Dell Network Assistant and Dell Automated PC TuneUp.

Dell’s Energy Smart Vostro 410 will retail from $599 and is due to be launched today (29/05/08) in North and South America and the United Kingdom. It will be available to customers in Asia June 2 and the rest of Europe, the Middle East and Africa June 5.
